Karen,

The polarizing goes both ways, don’t you think? Sarah was “trashed” during the campaign and held her head high in spite of it. She did not introduce the name calling. Her religious beliefs were twisted and ridiculed. Read the book! I am not saying she should be president but as a Jesus follower I am ashamed of the way she was treated.

Congrats on your new book. Look forward to reading it.

Thanks for this review, Julie. I bought her book at Costco the week it came out and read it in three days (no small task with three young boys and a concussion!). I have always liked Sarah (I enjoy keeping up with her on Facebook) and was particularly glad to see her have her say (finally!) about what she is about. And being a Grand Rapids girl, I was pleased that she chose to start her book tour there.

I look forward to what she has to say on Fox…hope that goes better than some are projecting.

Julie:
My views on Ms. Palin (mostly negative) were adjusted after I watched her interview on Oprah.
I think she would be a wonderful friend, a great neighbor, a terrific companion camping, an engaging mother.
However, I remain very concerned by the polarizing language that surrounds Palin and that I believe her admirers (and her adversaries) play to.
This notion of “Those” people, “that camp”, “right-wingers”, “ultra-liberals”.
Why the name-calling?
Why can’t I just say “I like Sarah Palin but I think she lacks the experience to lead a nation” without worrying about someone judging my devotion to God in the process?

Carolyn,
You would love it.

Melissa,
She is the ultimate muti-tasker.

Thanks for the review, Julie! I read the book and loved it. I really enjoyed learning how Sarah Palin juggled her personal and professional life. It inspired me! I loved hearing how she campaigned door-to-door pulling kids in the sled, and how Piper would come and sit on her lap at the tail end of a state dinner. She is clearly an intelligent woman and obviously maligned by a liberal media. I’m not sure what her next role will be for our country, but I look forward to seeing more of Sarah Palin!
